I don't know, I'd have to see a picture first.
Drinking up for the cause!
I’m kinda glad so dark and selfish a soul won’t have any young minds to poison.
What she meant: What we talk about a lot is whether it is morally right easy enough for me to have a child, given what we know about the state of planet I think I know, and how much of my precious time and money it would suck away.
It's laughable to hear a liberal talk about morals. Their morality is entirely artificial, based on what fits their particular plans at the moment.
If that's where you and your childless friends are mentally, please, I beg you.. DON'T BREED! You are too ill informed and too riddled with indiotic liberal guilt to remotely be a responsible parent.
After having read some of this fine lady’s prose, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is good she has not bred, and I further propose that we start a fund to pay for her tubal ligation. If we collect enough, we can “fix” her like-minded friends to which she refers.
A man willing to wear the skirt in the family.
That's just the convenient excuse du jour. The real reason is that the author and her friends (and much of her generation) don't feel grown up enough to take on the task of raising a child - because they are still children themselves. I applaud them for not making what in their cases would be a serious mistake.
Offset, probably, by huge amounts of low-skill immigration and the dominance of the propaganda instruments in the schools and the media by the left, which uses them to inculcate the ideology of ethnoracial separatism and the victimization culture.
Those numbers don’t make a lot of sense. The real measure is the child per liberal woman and per conservative woman. By what this article comes up with is 1.47 kids per couple for libs (death rate) and 2.08 for conservative couples which is a replacement rate to keep population stable.
However, with liberal social programs we need a replacement rate of about 2.5 to pay for all of the stuff the current boomers and X’ers will consume.
Absolutely! I only recently saw it for the first time, but it's moved right near the top of my favorites list. The only unrealistic thing about it is the idea that it will take us 500 more years to get there. ;)
“What we talk about a lot is whether it is morally right to have a child, given what we know about the state of planet.
My friends and I talk about how people like us in developed countries are vacuuming up the world’s resources. We belong to the 10 per cent of the world population who consume 90 per cent of the Earth’s resources. We talk about global overpopulation. We talk about children in other countries who don’t have enough to eat or access to medicine.”
What a load of rubbish. Whether or not a Canadian woman has x number of children isn’t going to make a bit of difference to any of that. Poor people in sub-saharan Africa aren’t going to be any less poor because you don’t have another baby. Indeed, people in the developing world depend on us in the developed world to provide markets for their products while they try to fight their way out of poverty.
Just admit it, lady, you don’t want to have kids due to selfish reasons. That’s not necessarily bad or evil, but at least be honest about it.
qam1 is right “There’s been a huge party. All plates and the bottles are empty, all that’s left is the bill to pay.” The lib boomers have had a HUGE narcissistic party and just turned it all over to us. I’m listening to Rush talk about the oil prices. These libs have prevented a refinery from being built in 20 or 30 years and now tell us we are slothful because the oil use is going up. Mind you these are they boomers who had hot rods as kids and grew up in a culture where songs like “oh donna” were popular. The same generation that didn't enforce the borders becuase the issue made them feel bad. Thanks alot.
She convinced me, she and her friends shouldn’t breed. I hope she spreads the word far and wide.
That would be an encouraging statistic if it weren't for the fact that liberals reproduce not so much by having children but by recruitment. When conservatives send their kids off to college there is no telling what they are going to get back.
The problem as I see it is we are going to have 12-20 millions of illegal immigrants who will be largely voting Democrat. I fear for the future of the Republican party.
Yes, that’s a problem, and it’s the whole reason that Democrats support bringing them in.
Remember that those 12 million have probably 10 family members they’ll bring with them.
